Muscade Carrot

A delicious North African carrot that produces blocky, 7” orange roots that have exceptional flavor and a crisp, crunchy texture. They hold up well at market and are late bolting. Rare and almost impossible to find!

This is the first year we've grown this. My favorite has always been Kurodo Long, but this is my scond favorite. It is a great early carrot with a thick beautiful yellow core. It is moderately sweet and almost floral herbacious tasting. We are already picking handfuls. I will definitely always grow this in the future.

I planted these in mid-late summer and started harvesting in late October. Faster growing than the other varieties I planted and produced big carrots that didn't branch at all in my heavy soil. Tasty also. A great dependable carrot. The other varieties, yellow and red, worked out well, but the bulk of the production was this one. I'll plant lots of these next year.

I love carrots and have grown upwards of 20 different varieties in abundance. By far the the most sweet, most crisp and yet tender carrot is this one. If you love carrots, then you will be in heaven once you taste one of these freshly picked from the garden. Be sure to not leave them in the ground too long, especially if the shoulder is over 1.5" diameter because a surprisingly high number of these will flower and go to seed the first year.
